can your help me with my homework question?
Gildas family goes on vacation. They travel 125 miles in the first 2.5 hours.If Gildas family continues to travel at this rate.how many miles will they travel in 6 hours?
distance= rate + time
The rate is 125/2.5 = 50 miles per hour
D = 50 * 6
D = ______ miles
Of course, I can help you with your homework question. In order to find out how many miles Gilda's family will travel in 6 hours, we can use the formula distance = rate × time.
First, we need to find the rate of Gilda's family. The rate is the distance traveled per unit of time. We can find the rate by dividing the distance they traveled in 2.5 hours by the time it took them, which is 125 miles ÷ 2.5 hours = 50 miles per hour.
Now that we know the rate is 50 miles per hour, we can calculate the distance they will travel in 6 hours by multiplying the rate by the time: 50 miles per hour × 6 hours = 300 miles.
Therefore, Gilda's family will travel 300 miles in 6 hours if they continue to travel at the same rate.
